(serves 4 as a side dish, or 2 as a main course)
3 medium beets
2 tsps balsamic vinegar
handful wild rocket
handful wild sorrel leaves
handful goats cheese in dice
1/4 red onion, diced
handful chives, chopped long
1 tbsp chilli oil
juice of 1/2 lemon
fresh black pepper and sea salt to taste
Roast the beets by wrapping them, in a group, in foil and cooking in a very hot oven (425F) for an hour and a half. Leave them in the foil on the counter for 10 minutes or so before unwrapping and slipping the skins off (this time lapse allows the beets both to cool and to let go their skins by steaming).
Dice the beets and sprinkle with the vinegar.
Arrange the rocket and sorrel on a pretty place and pile the beets on them. Scatter with goats cheese, onion, and chives, and sprinkle the chilli oil and lemon juice on top.

4 lamb steaks, cut in cubes
2 red bell peppers, cut in chunks
1 medium eggplant, cut in chunks
1 dozen mushrooms
1 dozen small tomatoes
marinade:
1/2 cup honey
1 tbsp tamarind paste, mixed with 1 tbsp very hot water
pinch saffron threads, dissolved in hot water
juice of 1 lime
3 cloves garlic, minced
1-inch knob ginger, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Place the chicken and lamb in one shallow dish and the vegetables in another (this is for reasons of raw meat hygiene). Mix all the marinade ingredients together and pour half over the meat and half over the veg and leave them as long as you like, stirring occasionally. When you’re ready, shove all the bits and pieces onto metal skewers (if you use wood or bamboo be sure to soak them in water beforehand to avoid scorching) and grill over an open flame about 4 minutes, then turn over and grill another 4 minutes. I didn’t have an open flame, but I did have my handy grill within my oven which has elements above the cooking…
